Major Canadian Organizations Choose BES 10 For Their Mobility Solutions

In the age of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) in the corporate world, managing multiple platforms is a must. BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10 and BlackBerry 10 smartphones are the mobility solutions that many Canadian companies and organizations are investing in. When you need cost efficiency, innovation and most importantly security, BES 10 is the choice that businesses choose.

In BlackBerry’s hometown, the City of Waterloo continues to grow its pioneering spirit with the deployment of BES10 and BlackBerry 10 smartphones for its workforce. It has also collaborated with BlackBerry to develop Ping Street, a first-of-its-kind mobile application that provides Waterloo citizens real-time access to location-based information, and initiated the use of BBM™ Groups for emergency communications.

Transitioning to a new EMM solution is a big decision for CIOs. At Samuel, Son & Co. Limited, Canada’s oldest and largest metals service center and metal manufacturing company, CIO Bob Carter had great confidence in BlackBerry as their core end-to-end business mobility solution.

Volker Stevin, one of the largest heavy civil and highway maintenance contractors in Western Canada, evaluated other MDM solutions like MobileIron and AirWatch before opting for user-friendly and cost-effective, BES10.

“We have hundreds of employees on and off the field, and they all require one thing – fast, secure and consistent communication tools,” said Mike Philip, Wireless Program Manager, Volker Stevin.

These companies join diverse organizations from various industries across Canada who have ordered, downloaded or installed BES10 to date. BES10 also offers organizations the ability to manage BlackBerry, iOS and Android devices from a single, highly secure, reliable platform.
